Fun Stuff > BAND
Josh Homme + Dave Grohl + John Paul Jones = ?? ?? ??

Man, I am with Caspian on this one. The first QOTSA album was ok because if you really tried you could pretend Kyuss got a new singer or something. The rest of their shit was mediocre.
Dave Grohl makes some ok music I guess but it's all just pop rock. Nothing exciting about it at all.

Their best song wasn't even their song!
No slight against Kyuss though, I love them dearly.

No fucking way!

I guess 'Ohio' would have been a pretty decent song if it had been recorded with Crazy Horse or The Santa Monica Flyers but with CSNY they managed to make it sound utterly insipid.

Hey, I like "Helplessly Hoping" and "Find the Cost of Freedom".
Other than that, I could really take 'em or leave 'em, doesn't matter to me.

Yeah, it really was a great marriage between band and drummer. In a band less thunderous you would probably end up asking yourself what that poor cymbal did to deserve such a beat down, but in Kyuss I wouldn't want it any other way.

If I'm not mistaken Alfredo Hernandez was drummer during the (supposedly mushroom-fueled) sessions that produced "Fatso Forgetso," which in my opinion makes him more than worthy of his place behind the kit. The drum work in that song alone fucking slays.
I agree that Brant's songwriting was indeed irreplaceable. But you can't front on Alfredo's chops. I think I heard once that he was actually the guy who originally taught Brant how to drum in the first place.
Alex C:
I just prefer Brant's particular sensibility. He's said on a few occasions that his style was in many way defined by his technical limitations, but frankly, I really like the box he put himself in, so whether he could stretch out beyond that or not really doesn't interest me. I tend to be of the opinion that musical performance is often more dependent on being in the right place at the right time with the right people more than it has to do with being technically skill anyway. There's nothing wrong with Hernandez as an artist or a musician but if you asked me who was the defining Kyuss drummer I'd say Brant without hesitation.
